An App for PhD Students

H

I think we'll all agree that most of us had felt stressed and lonely during a PhD. PhDs can often make you feel isolates and when things don't work or you're being criticised unjustly you want to burst into tears and give up. This site has helped me out, along with some other sites to see that I'm not the only one going through this!

There's a whole community that's struggling with coping! I then started using this app called - Chatous. Fair point to mention - most people are not there to chat....as I've sadly learnt...and especially about research!

So this is what I thought - wouldn't it be lovely to have such a place to log into and filter through people, who are feeling the same way at the time! Or you're using a technique and aren't sure how to do it, wouldn't it be great to not have to ask your supervisor and look like an idiot!! A semi-support network... and I yes, I realise I'm basically talking about a RESEARCH TINDER lol! XD

Let me know what you think or if such a thing already exists!!!


Cheers ;)

I think this might be it : )

Minus the App part

Maybe, most of the PhDs just want to share their feelings with their girl/boy friends.

This needs to be in an app format.

Yeah.... I want an app! XD
Does anyone have any suggestions for an app that is a chat and where you can add people/search for them via filter of your choice aka PhDs (and no, I am not quoting friends, for all those dirty-minded people! :D).

Personally, I did share my feelings with my boyfriend (a drop-out PhD student, so understood what I was going through), because s*** hit the fan lol. Soooo now I'm stuck without a confidential anyone , who understand PhD pains! XO
